Why not tax tires?
- TurdF3rguson 5mo agoA disincentive to replace your tires? What could go wrong.
- dzhiurgis 5mo agoCan't save them all.
- xethos 5mo agoWe're discussing a country that bases "Safety ratings" by how well they protect the driver, and ignore every other person outside the vehicle - meaning the people least likely to be hurt here are the ones trying to cheat the tax
- cherry_tree 5mo agoYeah because today tires are free for anyone with a tread depth of less 3mm, of course. Realistically tires and brakes are already subject to sales taxes and are not subject to review at annual vehicle inspections. We probably should enforce that cars on the roads have working brakes and tires but that’s seemingly beside the point of how we pay for the maintenance of the roads.
